And yes, they only want to grant 18 licenses.. if it were my decision
I'd give the last one to Lampre or Saeco, two deep teams with serious
talent and of an average ability higher than some of the other major
candidates, such as Vini Caldirola, De Nardi, Domina, and arguably
Kelme. I certainly wouldn't want to be behind that decision, though.

There's already four from Spain. Your two picks make it three from Italy.
It should have at least three, given the French and Spanish representation.

Apologies for my mistakes. Is Liquigas replacing one of the current
majo Italianr teams? I hope so, otherwise letting the team into the
Pro Tour would be really really stupid...

-Sonarrat.

Liquigas is being formed from a merger of DeNardi and Domina under the DS from the old Polti team. This is the sponsor Rebellin rode for for a few years. Solid. 😎
